Later that year, a tutorial posted to Valve’s official developer community website contained an image that referenced a ‘l4d3’ folder before it was swiftly replaced, too. In what appears to be a gaffe on the side of Valve, references to the game (and Half Life 3, for Pete’s sake!) were found in the file directories, which led many to assume that the game was in development. It’s worth checking out this run-through of the leaked content on the ValveTime website (opens in new tab) if you’d like to know more, which includes a potential Left 4 Dead test map, possibly bound for VR, and containing strings referencing a Moroccan lantern. As well as a “retired engineer” character found in the Left 4 Dead 3 directory, a new Special Infected is also referenced, known as The Nocturnal, whose abilities may have been tied to a day/night cycle, one of the features of the new engine. If we flash-forwards to 2016 we can then address the wonderful investigative sleuthing of Tyler McVicker of Valve News Network, who collected a number of leaks from the Steam VR Performance Tool (opens in new tab), which appeared to blow Valve’s entire future development plans wide open via a number of Source 2 files. Unfortunately, for now a new L4D game is not something we’re working on." Left 4 Dead 3 Rumours It’s clear some people are having fun creating misinformation to spin up the community and other outlets. "But we are absolutely not working on anything L4D related now, and haven’t for years. We did briefly explore some Left 4 Dead next opportunities a few years ago," Valve said.
"We’ve seen rumors to this effect for the last couple of months. Interestingly, as well confirming it was not in development and hadn't been for years, Valve did explain that it had explored opportunities related to the franchise in the past. We now know it was just speculation on Graylin's part.
This statement came after HTC China president Alvin Wang Graylin shared slides from a presentation, which listed LFD3 as a project alongside Half-Life Alyx.
Is there a new Left 4 Dead game?īack in early 2020, Valve confirmed in a statement to IGN that Left 4 Dead 3 is not in development. Perhaps upcoming Bethesda games like Redfall will fill the space, but in the meantime keep on reading for all the Left 4 Dead 3 rumors and our wishlist on what we'd like to see. There's appetite for a new Left 4 Dead because the series represents some of the best co-op games ever made, and while experiences like Back 4 Blood and The Anacrusis scratch the same itch, they just aren't quite the same.
